New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe had a cortisone shot in his left shoulder on Wednesday after playing through a small tear in his labrum for more than four months.<\/p>\n

Volpe, who also received a cortisone shot after the All-Star break, aggravated the injury during Sunday’s game and will again sit out Thursday — his third absence in a week.<\/p>\n

Boone said Volpe remains in “day-to-day mode” and may also miss the opener of a three-game series at Boston on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Yankees don’t expect Volpe to be placed on the injured list. Boone said the shortstop will probably have an MRI after the season.<\/p>\n

The small tear was first discovered in early May after he felt a pop in his shoulder.<\/p>\n

“He’s aggravated it, maybe a couple of times, Sunday being one of them and each time it’s kind of added to — I think it’s just a swelling issue,” Boone said.<\/p>\n

“… [The MRI] shows a little bit more of a labrum tear but nothing that we think is going to land him on the IL or nothing that he can’t continue to play through. He already feels better [Thursday]. I don’t expect it to be an issue but that being said, if he goes out there and aggravates it again, we may have to look at it more.”<\/p>\n

Volpe has 19 home runs and 70 RBIs this season, but he’s batting just .206 with a .268 on-base percentage and 140 strikeouts in 141 games. His 81 wRC+ (weighted runs created plus) — which attempts to measure a player’s offensive production with adjustments for ballpark effects, league run-scoring environment, etc. — ranks 141st out of 146 qualified hitters this season.<\/p>\n

Since June 25, Volpe is batting .171 with a .573 OPS in 63 games.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think it’s been a major factor in his performance or his ability to swing the bat or in his ability to kind of go to the post every day,” Boone said.<\/p>\n

Jose Caballero has been filling in at shortstop during Volpe’s absences.<\/p>\n
